Chapter 23 Visit
Autumn belongs to the gold master, who kills and fights all night in Xiapi City.
After dawn, Xu Shuang ordered breakfast to be prepared in the camp.
Lu Bu, who had been sitting in the camp for half the night, had just brought the bowl when he suddenly heard a noise outside the tent.
When Lu Lingqi went out to take a look, she saw Gao Shun with a bloody face, and next to him was Hao Meng's general Cao Xing, who was walking over with a head in his hands.
Gao Shun suppressed the rebellion overnight, and after Hao Meng was defeated, he beheaded his general Cao Xing.
Lu Bu was overjoyed when he saw this, and after encouraging the two of them, he led Gao Shun to the camp to take charge of the defense of Xiapi City, and asked Cao Xing to temporarily take over Hao Meng's troops.
Returning to the city government office, Lu Bu suddenly discovered that Lu Lingqi was missing.
"Madam, where did Lingqi go?" Lu Bu asked.
"I was here just now. Maybe I was tired last night and have gone to bed now," said Yan.
"Well, let's go and rest for a while." Lu Bu nodded.
Ganjiazhuang was robbed, so Lu Lingqi could not think about sleeping. After sending her parents back to the government office, she hurried to Gao Shun's barracks in the inner city. Since the trapped camp took over the city defense of Xiapi, Gao Shun's troops also came from outside.
The city moved to the inner city.
"What happened to Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian's people? How is the situation in Ganjiazhuang now? Is Lan Ziyu still alive?" As soon as they met, Lu Lingqi asked questions like a barrage of questions.
Gao Shundao: "My lord promised to use Liu Bei's money, silk, grain, and rice to support the army before he attacked Xiaopei, so the soldiers fought bravely to be the first. Unfortunately, after the city of Xiaopei was destroyed, there was not a grain in the warehouse, so in desperation, we sent troops to grab some."
Property, according to the news from Cheng Lian’s command, there should not be many casualties in Ganjiazhuang..."
"There are all farmers in Ganjiazhuang, and Cheng Lian's men are not as well controlled as you. What if Ziyu has a problem? No, I have to rush to Xiaopei." Lu Lingqi said anxiously.
"My lord was frightened last night, and just now you specifically told me to strengthen the city's defenses. If you sneak out at this time, aren't you making things difficult for me?" Gao Shun said helplessly.
"It's because you're in charge of city defense that I came to you. Who told you not to go attack Xiaopei with your father? He will probably sleep all day today. I'll work hard and I'll be back tomorrow at the latest." Lu Lingqi said.
Gao Shun was speechless after hearing this. A soldier must obey orders. If the master doesn't order his own general, he can't force him to follow him, right?
"But you didn't get a good rest last night either..."
"No problem, bring me two of the good horses in your camp."
Gao Shun knew he couldn't stop the girl, so in order to prevent Lu Lingqi from falling off her horse due to fatigue on the road, he ordered two more soldiers to go with her.
Lu Lingqi rode hard and arrived at the intersection of Ganjiazhuang near dusk.
At this time, Lan Tian was in the fields beside the road, instructing dealers to clean up the trampled millet seedlings.
The sound of the horse's hooves was like a reminder, and the banker was involuntarily startled when he heard it.
Lan Tian looked up and saw only three horses running under the sunset.
"Why are you here?" Lan Tian asked doubtfully.
The valiant figure immediately seemed too familiar. Who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Lingqi?
Lu Lingqi saw that Lan Tian's expression was still the same, and her anxious heart instantly relaxed. She turned over and dismounted and said, "I went to deliver a message to General Zhang, and I passed by here, so I came to take a look..."
"You've come just in time. My sister is cooking dinner at home. You're in for a treat." Lan Tian jumped onto the field ridge with one leap. After a long period of martial arts training, his physical condition was no longer what it used to be.
Lu Lingqi looked at Lan Tian and saw that this guy, whom she hadn't seen for a while, was becoming more and more handsome.
"The moves just now were good. It seems that you are still insisting on practicing martial arts." Lu Lingqi affirmed.
"Of course, I can't live up to your hard work." Lan Tian said with a smile.
Lu Lingqi was very pleased, but she also thought about the soldiers looting the village, so she asked worriedly: "Is everyone in your family... okay?"
"Everything is fine, let's go back to eat." Lan Tian suddenly grabbed Lu Lingqi's hand, making the girl feel embarrassed for a moment.
Lu Lingqi turned her head and said to the two accompanying soldiers sheepishly: "You go and deliver a message to General Zhang first. I will come back to you later."
"No." They both said in unison.
Gao Shun acted very cautiously, and Lu Lingqi went to Ganjiazhuang to meet friends. This was not a problem originally, but now that he was the general of Xiapi City Defense, he could not let himself neglect his duty easily, so he used a few people to report the military situation to Zhang Liao under the pretext of others.
Military information such as Hao Meng's rebellion, and military information that has been countered by the rebellion, is usually transmitted by the post sentry, and there is no need for Lu Lingqi to go there in person.
Lan Tian and Lu Lingqi walked side by side in the countryside, the feeling was as natural as the bright moon shining on the river. Although the two of them had a good feeling, no one pointed it out. Now they just need someone to make the decision for them.
From a distance, she saw smoke rising from Ganji's house. Lu Lingqi blushed and asked, "How is your sister's craftsmanship better than yours?"
"Of course it's a little bit worse, but it's still better than many people. You've walked all the way, you must be hungry, right?"
"Um..."
Lan Tian led the way and led Lu Lingqi into the small courtyard, shouting: "Sister, look who's coming?"
Lu Lingqi looked at everything around her, and it seemed that nothing had changed, but she always felt a sense of strangeness.
When Gan Qian heard the sound, she thought it was Liu Bei who was back. She wiped her hands on her apron and ran out, only to find that it was Miss Lu.
"Miss Lu is here, come in and sit down." Gan Qian felt a little disappointed.
After entering the house, Gan Qian continued back to the kitchen, while Lan Tian was talking to Lu Lingqi in the main room.
"Brother, go to the shelter and ask your father to come back for dinner." Gan Qian shouted from the kitchen.
Lan Tian stood up and said, "You sit down for a while, I'll go out and call my adoptive father."
"oh..."
After Lan Tian left, Lu Lingqi sat there bored, so she walked into the kitchen to help Gan Qian.
Gan Qian saw this and smiled and said: "Miss Lu is a guest from afar. Where is this kitchen where you came from? Go out and have a rest."
"It's okay, I've helped Ziyu get angry before..." Lu Lingqi said with a blush.
Gan Qian is now a married woman, so she understands Lu Lingqi's little thoughts very well, and she thinks that this girl is also interested in her brother.
"I'm sorry about Xiaopei..." As soon as Lu Lingqi sat in front of the stove, she couldn't help but say what she was thinking.
Gan Qian was startled for a moment, then shook her head and sighed: "What does this have to do with you? Let men resolve matters between men. If you and General Gao hadn't been protecting you at the beginning, I would have been afraid... There is no need to talk to you today."
I apologize..."
"Anyway, I just feel a little guilty..."
"Miss Lu really... I don't know how the girls from the Mi family are doing in Xiaopei..."
"It should be nothing. General Zhang Liao can restrain his subordinates, and my father has already said hello, asking him to treat Liu Bei's family well..."
"This puts me at ease..."
While the two women were talking in the kitchen, Lantian came back from outside with his adoptive father. Ganji went to the shelter every day to replace supplies, and took the dry food stored in the shelter home to steam and heat it for consumption the next day.
Now the Ganjiazhuang is experiencing food shortage again. As the owner of the village, Ganji has lent a lot of grain and rice to the villagers. Now he cannot let go of the food he has stored at home.
Lu Lingqi lived in Xiapi during this period and had never tasted farm food, especially the special taste of Lantian's family. Once again, she found it more delicious, so the taste was not as elegant as Gan Qian's.
After the meal, the banker came to invite Lan Tian for something. Lu Lingqi was going to help Gan Qian wash the dishes, but was stopped by the Gan family's father and daughter.
Ganji said to Lu Lingqi: "Miss Lu, let's go for a walk in the courtyard. The old man has something to say to you."
"oh..."
